This series of studies called ‘No Perfect People Allowed’ is based around John Burke’s book of the same name. The sub-title to his book is called “Creating a come as you are culture in the church” and strives to ask what sort of church do we need to be if we are to be truly missionary and reach the vast majority of folk who do not come to church yet? Whereas 25 years ago most of the people we were trying to reach at least had a notion of what Christianity entailed, now that knowledge is almost completely gone. We are in the exciting position of primary missionary and evangelism. No longer are we trying to convince nominal Christians that they need to make a personal commitment to Jesus. Now we are reaching completely unchurched people who have never heard the gospel. We are essentially in the same situation as the first century church and the opportunity is stunning!
